[Freeipa-users] Question on freeipa-server-trust-ad

[Coy Hile]

Hi all,

What purpose does this package serve?  The way I’ve done Kerberos between Active Directory and AD, the trust was always one way (outgoing): the MIT realm is authoritative and AD “shadow accounts” were mapped to ‘real’ principals via the alternateSecurityID attribute.  Looking at what freeipa-server-trust-ad installs, it appears the dependencies installed are around letting someone a bidirectional trust (or at least let the AD users be authoritative).  If one wants to setup his trust in the way I described, all he really needs to do in MIT land is create 

krbtgt/AD.REALM at MIT.REALM

in the MIT Realm.  

Is there a ‘supported’ way to do something similar with FreeIPA? Time to break out kadmin.local -x ipa-setup-override-restrictions? Or would that not drop the principal in the right place in the LDAP tree?
